When you are too tired to wait for a table during meal time, and you want to ask if you can share the table with others, you may say’不好意思，可以拼桌吗？(bù hǎo yì si , kě yǐ pīn zhuō ma?)-Excuse me, would you mind sharing the table?’ ‘拼’ means ‘put together’, so several people using one table actually indicates putting these people together.

清明节是中国的传统节日，通常在四月。这时候，天气不冷也不热，到处都是春天的样子，草绿了，花开了，好看极了。​
清明节有一个重要的习俗，就是扫墓。很多人会在这天去墓地，墓地是去世的人 “住” 的地方。人们带着鲜花来到墓地，把墓地打扫得干干净净，再献上鲜花，表达对去世亲人的想念。​
除了扫墓，清明节还适合踏青。人们会和家人、朋友一起去公园或者郊外。在公园里，能看到五颜六色的花，还能听到小鸟唱歌。在郊外，空气特别新鲜，风轻轻吹在脸上，舒服极了。大家一边走，一边看风景，心情也变得更好。​
清明节还有好吃的食物，比如青团。青团是用绿色的菜和糯米做的，又软又甜，味道很棒。很多人在清明节会吃青团。​
在中国，有一首和清明节有关的诗，是唐代诗人杜牧写的。诗是这样的：​
清明时节雨纷纷，​
路上行人欲断魂。​
借问酒家何处有？​
牧童遥指杏花村。​
这首诗说的是，清明节的时候下雨了，路上的人心情不太好。有人问哪里有酒店，放牛的小孩指着远处的杏花村。​
清明节既有对去世亲人的思念，又有对春天的喜爱。希望通过今天的节目，大家对清明节有更多的认识。感谢收听，咱们下次再见！

Hi, guys!

Today we are gonna have a short lesson about crimes!

We are going to study new words and grammar. And as homework you will have some exercises.
Let’s go.

Crime is a very interesting topic, and a bad guy who takes your money or kills someone we can call a criminal, a felon or a culprit. This guy usually commits a crime.

Okay, so a criminal, a felon or a culprit commits a crime.

What other crimes should we know?

Bribery. Bribery is a crime when one person gives money to get an illegal service. For example, a person gives a doctor 1000$ to make fake papers. When you make fake papers, we call it forgery. 

Okay, bribery, to give a bribe.

Next word is blackmail. If he wanted to give a bribe, but his doctor refused, he can blackmail him. It means that he writes: “If you don’t do what I want, I will ruin your life”. He threatens this person.

Blackmail, to blackmail, blackmailer.


If this person doesn’t listen to this guy, he starts stalking him. He becomes a stalker. He follows him every minute. He wants to get what he’s asking for.

Finally the police arrest him. He is a criminal and he’s behind bars. 

People start talking about him:

“-It is said that he is a criminal
-yes, he is said to be a blackmailer and stalker. He also gave a bribe!”

If you look at these sentences you can see a very good grammar structure.

Let's take a closer look.

For example, we say  “She is a teacher.” We can also say “it is said that she is a teacher” or “sh is said to be a teacher” 

It is said she is beautiful
She is said to be beautiful.


Practise these sentences at home and ask me for correct answers in messages.

He is smart. 
He is a felon. He gives a bribe.
She is a stalker. She stalks him every day.
Criminals commit crimes. 
Bob is a felon. He blackmails people.
Susue is a criminal. She blackmails people and gives bribes.

That’s it guys. If yo9u liked this podcast, and this lesson you can book a trial lesson with me!

How do you improve your IELTS band score. In this podcast I’m going to give you 1 simple strategy to help you get the band score you need.

The technique I’m going to teach you is paraphrase. Yes, paraphrasing is very important, and it’s something that IELTS examiners listen out for. In the IELTS band descriptors you will see that you can not get a band score 6 or 7 unless you can paraphrase effectively.

Let me give you an example.

Let’s say in part 1 the examiner asks you about your hometown and asks you this question: Is your hometown a popular destination for foreigners?

You should answer the question by choosing a synonym for foreigners, for example, tourists.

You could also choose a synonym  for destination, for example visit.

So, when the examiner asks you “Is your hometown a popular destination for foreigners?” you could answer like this:

Yes, many tourists visit my hometown. 

So, you’ve answered the question using paraphrase.

Instead of foreigners you said tourists and instead of destination, you said visit.

Let me teach you again. If the examiner asks you “Is your hometown a popular destination for foreigners?” you could answer:

Yes, many tourists visit my hometown.
